VACATION HOME EXCHANGE HANDBOOK

In response to increased activity in many vacation markets, Asset Preservation has created a brand-new Vacation Home Handbook that covers many tax issues related to the ownership and sale of a vacation or second home. This brochure is very comprehensive, contains hyperlinks to key tax code sections and provides useful guidance to property owners, real estate professionals, closers, attorneys and CPAs in resort communities and vacation home marketplaces throughout the United States.

(API) is committed to providing its exchange customers with unmatched service and the highest level of security available in the 1031 exchange industry. From the customer’s first contact with an API representative, API’s professional exchange counselors, attorneys and accountants work together to meet the customer’s service needs in order to ensure a smooth transaction with no surprises. In the background, API management maintains tight financial controls and multi-layered security systems necessary to provide a level of comfort and the quality of performance relied on by sophisticated investors and Corporate America; we call it the “The API Advantage™.”

EXPERIENCE

Established in 1990, API has successfully facilitated over 175,000 tax-deferred exchanges.

API is a member in good standing of the Federation of Exchange Accommodators (FEA), the tax-deferred exchange industry’s only national trade organization.

API’s staff is available for free consultation regarding all §1031 exchange matters.

API’s website includes the ability to initiate a tax-deferred exchange 24/7.

SECURITY

API maintains fidelity bond coverage, Errors & Omissions coverage and has implemented other protections for its customers that go beyond the typical protections offered by other qualified intermediaries.

API is a member of the Stewart Family of companies under the umbrella of Stewart Information Services Corporation (SISCO), a NYSE publicly traded company. Upon request, Stewart issues a Letter of Assurance (LOA) to each of API’s exchange customers. Under the terms of this LOA, SISCO assures API’s performance of its obligations under its Exchange Agreement. The coverage provided by the LOA is not limited to a specific dollar amount like a bond or Errors & Omissions coverage.

Choosing a Qualified Intermediary is an important decision. Call our National Headquarters at 800.282.1031 or Eastern Regional Office at 866.394.1031 to learn more about API’s financial strength and multi-layered security systems.
